LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with only a handful of spindle traces - this copy has seen little play - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains their original deep glossy sheen with just some light brush marks/hairlines - these have no audio consequence - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Tremendous crystal clear, very sharp and very strong audio reproduction throughout - beautifully produced and engineered with no audio issues of note. On playback at a loud volume there are no scratches, no jumps/sticks, no clicks/pops and hardly any surface noise - the pressing is very clean. The whole LP sounds wonderful and plays to a very high standard with great clarity, no groove-wear and no distortion and is critically graded a very strong EXCELLENT++ for audio - great copy of a superb LP
SLEEVE: The matt gatefold sleeve is in EXCELLENT(+) condition. The white portions of the front have picked up a few light marks over the years (nothing major) and the thick white spine has some discolouration (again, nothing major - all text is clear and bold). The inside is clean and unmarked with neither the join-the-dots puzzle nor the maze puzzle completed. Overall, a very fine example of this easily worn, untreated sleeve
